What’s it all about?
Once you’ve signed up you’ll be invited to join our WhatsApp group and submit an audition video via a google drive – just a 30 second clip of yourself performing.
We’ll invite you down for an intro meeting where you will meet the Primal Live team and get all the info regarding the 7 week process as well as the event.
You will receive our 7 week artist development workshop ran by industry professionals. This will include rehearsals, a guide to stage presence, confidence building and an insight into the industry. All in the aim of getting you gig ready for the event.
It will be then time to give the performance of your life! You’ll perform one of your chosen songs and if successful, perform again in the final!
Finalists and event winners will receive an industry related prize package.
More than a gig.
It's a cause.
Our events aim to raise awareness and vital funds for inner-city community based homeless charities. Every ticket you buy and every artist you cheer helps to support a good cause, meaning your night makes a real difference in the community.

I couldn’t recommend primal live enough!! I came into this whole experience with an open mind, and it’s exceeded all of my expectations! The whole team is like a family and welcomes you with open arms regardless of your experience in the industry, everyone comes together to build each other up, even though it’s a competition, you collectively help each other win, whatever your goal might be. I’ve made friends for life, and gained a lot more insight into the industry. I honestly can’t wait for the next event! But not only do you gain a lot you get to give back all at the same time, their fundraising for the Whitechapel is an amazing cause and helps to better lives in the community. Overall Primal Live is a great asset to our city, and we are so grateful to have you! 🖤✨
Being a part of primal live was one of the best experiences as a musician. The amount of support you get not only throughout the sessions but as an artist in general is amazing, you get to network with so many new people, share your music every week and just have fun! Even though it is a competition you feel no pressure at all, you are brought together as a group to support and root for each other and make friends for life! It is also a great experience to be able to say I’ve performed at such a big venue like camp and furnace in front of hundreds of people! Definitely an experience I would do over and over again
Joining primal live is the best decision I’ve made in 2025. As one of the unsigned artist. Primal Live is something special. Over the courses, I’ve received professional-level of guidance and mentorship leading up to “gig fit” for big stage in front of audience.From the artists to the organisers, everyone has been so supportive and inspiring. We form good connections in the group that the room will be full of good energy and laughter every time .Wherever which stage of the journey you’re in, you’ll come out stronger in every way. The whole journey is captured professionally by Legacy Media UK. Chris has been incredibly talented as a photographer and videographer, but also an amazing person to work with. All of us leave with high-quality content that’s perfect for self-promotion and next steps.
Great event - great people - great music! Get involved 🎶🫶
